Microsoft PC Manager is a free utility designed to help keep a Windows PC running smoothly system optimization and performance management tool developed by Microsoft. It is designed to help users maintain the efficiency and performance of their PCs by offering various features that clean up unnecessary files, optimize system settings, and improve security. Microsoft PC Manager was released for Windows 10 and Windows 11.[2] The app has a tool for deleting temporary data and reverting settings such as, controversially, switching default search engine back to Microsoft Bing.[3][4][5][6][7]

Some evidence indicates this software is from Microsoft China. The service agreement provided by the official website contains common terms and conditions in the People's Republic of China.[8] The differences between the English and Chinese service agreements suggest that the Chinese version includes additional clauses tailored to comply with local laws and regulations, as well as to address specific cultural and legal considerations in China. The English terms of service, conversely, offers more detailed information on data collection practices and storage durations, reflecting different regulatory standards and user expectations.[9][original research?]
